Goodbye
Jonny Fritz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Broken bottle at the bottom of the pool,
What the hell happened here last night?
I crapped out in the parking lot
How bout you? Did you sleep alright?
Cigarette buts in a coffee cup, can someone please call my phone?
And we swing by a CBS, I left my contact solution at home

Goodbye summer and goodbye fall
Hello people I don't know at all
Goodbye winter and goodbye spring
Hello woman with the wedding ring

I bet a lady like the one you are has heard about every line
And I bet you're the owner of a married man
So maybe I'll say goodnight
She said I'll be awaiting at the holiday in
Room number 305
I'm here on business and I'm all alone
So pay me a visit tonight

(Chorus)
Goodbye summer and goodbye fall
Hello people I don't know at all
Goodbye winter and goodbye spring
Hello woman with the wedding ring
Hello stranger with the wedding ring
Hello lover with the wedding ring

Are you gonna make me sing?
Oh, are you gonna make me crawl?
Don't turn me up down

I'mma give you directions to the party
But I don't know if I'm gonna go
Been up all night and second hand smoking
Sleeping on the goddamn floor
But we got offered a place to crash and there's a funny look in this dude's eye
And I get the feeling he'll be wanting to jam
And staying up until the morning light

Goodbye summer and goodbye fall
Hello people I don't know at all
Goodbye winter and goodbye spring
Hello woman with the wedding ring
Hello stranger with the wedding ring
Hello lover with the wedding ring
Hello baby's mama with a wedding ring
Hello stranger's mama with the wedding ring




Like a lover with a wedding ring
Like a lover with a wedding ring

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jonny Fritz's song "Goodbye" paint a vivid picture of a wild night of partying, with various images of aftermath scattered throughout the verses. The first lines describe a broken bottle at the bottom of a pool, prompting the question of what happened during the previous night's escapades. The next lines reveal that the singer is feeling worse for wear and is inquiring about how the person he is with fared. Later, we hear about cigarette butts in a coffee cup and the need to retrieve contact solution in a CVS.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Goodbye summer and goodbye fall, hello people I don't know at all" and continues with a list of greetings to strangers and acquaintances, including the central character, a woman wearing a wedding ring. The singer admits feeling uncertain about approaching her before she counters with an invitation to her hotel room, setting up a potential romantic encounter.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of a carefree, perhaps reckless lifestyle, with details of staying up all night and sleeping on the floor, party-crashing and jamming with strangers. The repetition of goodbyes and hellos accentuates the transient nature of the singer's existence, as if the partying and wild living are all he has.
